Bug in escalation template handling

[Darren White]

As best I can tell, this is an undocumented bug.

Host escalations to not support hostgroup_name in template 
definitions.  Read on for an explanation.

When defining a serviceescalation, you can use a host_name or a 
hostgroup_name to specify which host(s) the escalation applies to.  If 
you define a template (register 0) and then "use" it in a 
serviceescalation, it works with either a host_name or a 
hostgroup_name in the template definition.

When defining a hostescalation, you can use a host_name or a 
hostgroup_name as well, to specify the host(s) it applies to.  When 
you use a template, if you specify host_name in the template, 
everything works.  If you use hostgroup_name, nagios complains 
about the host_name parameter being Null.

Confirmed with Nagios 1.0 and 1.2.
